About Us
History and Legal Status: AOAD was first founded through a small grant project of the ABILIS Foundation of Finland for physical accessibility, and building-Ramps constructions in the schools in Kabul in 2007.

Established in May 2007 and based in Kabul-Afghanistan, Accessibility Organization for Afghan Disabled (AOAD) is a non-governmental, non-profit and non-political organization, formed by Persons with Disabilities (PWD) and working for Persons with Disabilities, their direct family members, women rights, and other vulnerable and segregated groups, as peer-support and disability advocacy organization.

AOAD promotes disability rights and inclusion in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2015-2030). We are now serving as an umbrella organization for the traditional rural Disabled Person Organizations (DOPs) which were instrumental in the creation of AOAD as a formal disability organization.
